Tisch optimistic but on board with the win-or-else mandate

From Jordan Raanan, NJ.com.

Quote:

And while Tisch believes Tom Coughlin gives the franchise an advantage at the outset of every season because he checks off every box necessary for a head coach, he's on board with the win-or-else mandate.

"I agree with that," Tisch said. "I think the Giants have a tradition of stability supporting a head coach, supporting a general manager. I don't want to say we're adverse to change, but we like stability as the owner style. It was certainly that way before my family got involved in 1991. It is very much sort of a part of the Mara DNA, which I'm extremely respectful of.

"But at a certain point, when change is necessary, and if obviously things do have to change, we will do that."

"Injuries have played a role," he conceded. "But without naming names, some free agents we brought in, some rookies we drafted, again maybe our expectations were higher than they should have been. ... I have no excuses why we were 6-10 last season. It's hard to think about that. It's frustrating."

Go for the pink

reach for the trim. Be happy with the Coach you have. You've helped put him through misery the last 3 seasons.

Tisch is annoying

But, I don't see anything wrong with what he said here.

Is he going to fire the Senior VP of player evaluation

arniefez : 3/27/2015 9:24 am : link

when he fires the GM?

Interesting that he said

from a GM standpoint. Have they been any other points directed at GM as a position. It is normally we or coaching.

When it comes from John Mara blame is directed mostly at the coaches. Tisch being a little more removed from the process likely has a little different perspective.

Reese has to be included in any "win or else" mandate.

Those comments

old man : 3/27/2015 10:32 am : link

were 'everybody(maybe except the Sr VP mentioned) is on notice'comments. Had to be said. Injuries have been a major problem for TC and coaching staff but as we have all mentioned, JR, via MRoss, have not given him the best talent after rd.2.

If it were up to me

aquidneck : 3/27/2015 10:33 am : link

Reese's job wouldn't necessarily be in jeopardy if the Giants fail (to produce a winning team) this year.

It's not up to me and I hope it's moot, but I could see another failed season resulting in more than just a head coaching change.

Exactly... IMO, this is on the front office more than the coach.

Fans don't recognize how completely in the tank this could have gone the last couple of years without the Major keeping the lid on.

def too early to tell...

Kevin(formerly Tiki4Six) : 3/27/2015 1:01 pm : link

but the mentality of win or else has no validity when you look at how they approached FA....

IF it truly were win or else you would think JPP/ELI would have been done by now freeing up cap space to bring in OL and Safety help.

As long as all the seats are sold

I don't believe Tisch or any of the other owners will make significant management changes. I laugh at his "win or else" statements, because profits come first, and everything else comes second.

Does this make ownership evil? No, because above anything else a pro football franchise is a for-profit business. It's nice to get your picture taken with the Lombardi trophy, but not as nice as depositing big fat juicy checks to your various bank accounts.

Funny that he mentions disappointments in personnel selection ... an area plastered with John Mara's fingerprints.
